Teller has worked at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Livermore, Calif, since 1952. He is known for his hawkish views on weapons development, including the ABM. And he is known for his ability to put down questioners, other scientists, youth, doves-in short, anyone he disagrees with-in a booming, angry voice and thick Hungarian accent undimmed by 25 years of U. S. residency...
...caucus the authority to choose a chairman (or for the minority party, the ranking member) from that party's three most senior members on a committee. Even such a limited change might have dramatic impact. Thus Stuart Symington, a Viet Nam dove, could be chosen to replace the hawkish John Stennis as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and James Eastland could be bumped for Sam Ervin Jr., a scholarly constitutionalist, as head of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Obviously, the system would not always benefit one faction; it could work to advance conservatives as well as liberals...
...dove. He favors giving back back most of the territories captured in 1967 in return for a firm peace settlement, and he has steadfastly opposed the idea of integrating the economies of these territories with Israel's.

Her parties are also frequently attended by visitors from Asia, where her connections are said to be excellent?particularly in Saigon. Just before Nixon's election, in fact, she was accused of trying to sabotage...
...make himself more acceptable to party moderates and to demonstrate independence, Dayan is striving to change his hawkish image. In recent months, for example, he has proposed that both Israel and Egypt pull back 13 miles from their Suez Canal fortifications so that the canal can be reopened. Two weeks ago, at a Labor Party meeting in Haifa, Dayan also suggested that Israel reopen the Jarring talks in earnest. To end the Arab conflict, he said, "we must plunge into some very cold water, because we are not interested in continuing...
